How do you define a great story, really? If it was just the lore, then Forgotten Realms games and Star Wars games should be the no-brainers here, since they have all kinds of books, films, literature and the fanbase to back them up. If it's the validity and resonance of the world, then Dragon Age, with its very real issues of politics and racism should take the crown. If it's realism it should be Fallout, scale it should be the Elder Scrolls games, character depth Torment and so on and so forth. I tried to judge a game by all of these factors combined, and none possess a world more real, more filled with great characters, none touch contemporary moral issues better or have a wondrous quest, full of discovery and twists, truly an epic talke of soul-searching and aventure that affects the world more so than Baldur's Gate. If you haven't played it yet, you're missing out on one of the greatest RPGs in the history of computer gaming, maybe even the greatest.
